As a solo artist, he had his biggest success on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, where he hit No. 1 three times. In 1997 he spent a week in the top spot with “GetUp (Everybody)” where he sampled Sylvester’s “Dance (Disco Heat)”, then hit No. 1again in 1998 with a remake of Sylvester’s “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)”.
“That’s the Way Love Is,” a No. 1 dance hit in 1989 for Ten City, brought him to No. 1 again in 1999 when he re-recorded it on his own. Some of his recent singles have been released on the UK-based record label Defected Records.
In 2021, he teamed up with producer Marshall Jefferson to release “Be Free”, the first single in 25 years to be credited to Stingily’s house music group Ten City.
